Kitchen Krewe was cookin’ up something special today! ✨ Our crew made pizzas completely from scratch — from measuring and mixing ingredients to kneading the dough, rolling it out, grating cheese, and adding their favorite toppings. 👩‍🍳🧑‍🍳 They did it all themselves, and the results were delicious! 🍕
